About this restaurant

Neighborhood gem
Charming
Good for special occasions

Just steps off Ocean Avenue in downtown Carmel, California, Il Tegamino is Carmel's favorite hidden gem. Wander past Carmel's iconic candy shop to find us tucked behind boutiques in a courtyard off the beaten path. We are a tiny restaurant charmingly hidden in Carmel-by-the-Sea's first courtyard. Dine al fresco in our outdoor space within The Court of the Golden Bough courtyard complete with standing heaters and an awning or feel transported to an authentic Italian bistro in our bustling small dining room. We welcome you to come grab a glass of vino in our new wine room. As a local small business, you will often find owner Giuseppe at your table side to welcome you and serve his menu of Italian comfort food inspired by his upbringing in Southern Italy.

The ragu, ravioli, and desserts were delicious. The flour coated chicken was quite a disappointment from a texture and presentation standpoint.

First time to Carmel visiting for dinner while on a work trip. Selected Il Tegamino for dinner based on Open Table revoews. The menu was intriguing and a good wine list. Our wait person was attentive and pleasant could not ask for a better experience. Would gladly dine with them again.

Wonderful little restaurant! Food and service were divine. It was a bit noisy because it is a small space.
